What It's Like




<가사제공: idris 님>






We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change


The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange


He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes


"Get a job you ****ing slob," is all he replies


God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes


'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues





Then you really might know what it's like...


Then you really might know what it's like...


Then you really might know what it's like...


Then you really might know what it's like...





Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love


He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll
I'm the man you've been dreaming of."


But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls


And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls."


And then she heads for the clinic and


she gets some static walking through the door


They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore


God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes


'cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose





[Chorus]




I've seen a rich man beg


I've seen a good man sin


I've seen a tough man cry


I've seen a loser win


And a sad man grin


I heard an honest man lie


I've seen the good side of bad


And the downside of up


And everything between


I licked the silver spoon


Drank from the golden cup


And smoked the finest green


I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
before I broke their heart


You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start





I knew this kid named Max


He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs


He liked to hang out late


he liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs


Until late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head


He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead


Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain


You know it crumbles that way


at least that's what they say when you play the game


God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news


'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose





Then you really might know what it's like...


Then you really might know what it's like...


Then you really might know what it's like...to have to lose

 

 

We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change

술을 파는 상점에서 잔돈을 구걸하던 그 남자를 본 적이 있을 거야
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange

얼굴에 붙은 머리카락은 더럽고, 떡 지고 그 속엔 이가 가득하지

 

He ask a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes

그는 어떤 사람에게 수치심에 찬 눈빛을 한 채 뭔가 나눠줄 수 없냐고 물었어
"Get a job, you fuckin' slob"'s all he replied

"일을 해, 이 망할 게으름뱅이야" 하지만 그게 그의 대답이었어

 

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes

네가 그의 입장이 되어야할 일은 없겠지
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
왜냐하면 우울하다는 것이 어떤 건지 알게 되었을 테니까

 

Then you really might know what it's like

그럼 넌 그게 어떤지 알고 있겠지

 

 

 

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love

매리는 그녀를 사랑한다는 톰이라는 녀석의 아이를 임신했어

He said "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll, I'm the man you've been dreamin' of"

그는 얘기했어 "아무 걱정 하지 마, 내 사랑, 난 네가 꿈꾸던 바로 그 사람인걸"

 

But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call

하지만 3개월 후 그는, 그녀를 만나지도, 전화를 받지도 않을 거라고 얘기했어
And she sweared "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls"

그래서 그녀는 맹세했지 "빌어먹을, 내가 그 놈을 찾게된다면 그곳을 잘라버리고 말겠어"

 

And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors

그녀는 병원으로 갔어, 문을 지나가는 그녀의 발걸음은 고정된 듯했어

They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore

그들은 그녀를 살인자라고, 그녀를 죄인이라고, 그녀를 창녀라고 불렀어

 

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes

네가 그녀의 입장이 되어야 할 일은 없겠지
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

왜냐하면 무언가를 반드시 선택해야한다는 것이 어떤 건지 알게 되었을 테니까

 

Then you really might know what it's like

그럼 넌 그게 어떤 건지 알고 있겠지

 

 

 

I've seen a rich man beg, I've seen a good man sin, I've seen a tough man cry

부자가 구걸하는 걸, 착한 사람이 죄를 짓는 걸, 강인한 남자가 우는 걸 봤어

I've seen a loser win and a sad man grin, I heard an honest man lie

패배자가 승리하는 것도, 슬픔에 찬 사람이 웃고 있는 것도 봤고 정직한 사람이 하는 거짓말도 들었어

 

I've seen the good side of bad and the down side of up and everything between

나쁜 것의 좋은 면과 높이 있던 것들이 추락하는 것도 봤어
I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup, smoked the finest green

은수저를 햝아보기도, 황금잔으로 마셔보기도, 최상급 마리화나도 피워봤어

 

I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple of times before I broke their heart

적어도 두어번, 남에게 상처를 주면서 더러운 돈도 만져봤어
You know where it ends. Yo, it usually depends on where you start

넌 어떻게 끝이 날지 알고 있어, 대개는 네가 어떻게 시작하느냐에 달려있으니까

 

 

 

I knew this kid named Max. He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs

난 맥스라는 이 아이를 알아. 골목 모퉁이에서 약을 팔며 돈을 좀 벌었었지

He liked to hang out late at night, liked to get shit faced, And keep pace with thugs

그는 밤 늦게까지 돌아다니며, 술에 잔뜩 취하고, 불량배들을 따라다니는 걸 좋아했어

 

Until late one night there was a big gun fight. Max lost his head

어느 늦은 밤 큰 총싸움이 있기 전까지는 말야. 맥스는 이성을 잃었어
He pulled out his chrome 45, Talked some shit and wound up dead

그의 45구경을 꺼내며 욕을 내뱉기도 했지만 결국 죽어버렸지

Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain

이제 그의 아내와 아이들은 그의 고통을 떠안게 되었어

You know it crumbles that way. At least that's what they say when you play the game

넌 그런건 그런식으로 무너진다는 걸 알고 있어. 적어도 그건 네가 게임을 할때 그들이 네게 하는 말과 똑같을 거야

 

God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news

네가 그의 얘기를 듣고 깨달음을 얻을 필요는 없겠지
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
왜냐하면 무언가를 반드시 잃어야한다는 것이 어떤 건지 알게 되었을 테니까

 

Then you really might know what it's like

그럼 넌 그게 어떤 건지 알고 있겠지

 

To have to lose...
반드시 잃어야한다는 걸 말야...
